An international team of scientists from the “Karl and Franz” University in Graz, Austria, and the Russian “Skoltech” Institute of Science and Technology, developed a computer simulation that, using artificial intelligence technology, reflects the state of the magnetic field of the sun’s upper atmosphere.
The Scholtech Institute said in a press release that this project will make it possible to more accurately predict magnetic storms.
He added that the innovation will help to better understand the behavior of the sun and its impact on the so-called space weather.
The sun’s magnetic field is a major determinant of space weather, and solar activity can disrupt communications and satellite and radio navigation systems.
Today, scientists have been able to detect and measure signs of disturbances in the sun’s magnetic field in the photosphere, which is the lower layer of its atmosphere. However, the accumulation and ejection of energy occurs in the upper layer of the atmosphere, which is the sun’s crown.
